Re: Trudeau. Is he an idiot or what?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's controversial trip to India in February was even more expensive than first reported.
Documents tabled in the House of Commons Monday reveal that the nine-day trip cost Canadian taxpayers $1.66 million — roughly 10 per cent higher than the $1.5 million the government reported in June.
Adam Austen, spokesman for Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, said it can take weeks and even months for the cost of a prime ministerial trip to be finalized as bills and invoices come in. He did not rule out the possibility that the final tab could rise still further.
"There were many ministers participating, it was a long trip. Eventually, the costs do begin to add up on big trips like this," he said.
Global Affairs spent the most on the trip — $790,210, including $17,044 to fly celebrity chef Vikram Vij to India to prepare a meal for an official reception.
The tab for food and drinks aboard the prime minister's Airbus came to $142,938 "based on the latest review of payments," according to the Department of National Defence (DND). The plane cost $11,000 an hour for the 43.7 hours of travel, a total of $485,070, said DND.
That tab didn't include the cost of bringing Canada's defence minister to India. Harjit Sajjan and an aide flew separately to Delhi from Munich, where they attended a security conference. Flying Sajjan and his aide to Delhi, then on flights within India with an India-based defence adviser, cost DND an additional $13,175.
While the trip was one of the more controversial missions to India made by a sitting prime minister, it was not the most expensive.
Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper's 2012 trip to India topped $2.5 million. That sum included $1.2 million to fly two armour-plated Cadillacs and an SUV to India.
Trudeau's staff did not have vehicles flown to India.
News that the India mission cost more than first disclosed is the latest headache for Trudeau to come out of a trip that generated more than its share of headaches at the time.
The trip made headlines when it was revealed that Jaspal Atwal, who was convicted of the attempted murder of an Indian cabinet minister in 1986, posed with Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau for a photo at an event in Mumbai and was invited to a reception with Trudeau.
Photos of the Trudeau family in a variety of traditional Indian outfits on the trip also proved controversial, with some observers pointing out that they were wearing traditional outfits more often then some of the Indians they met during their stay.
The documents tabled in the House of Commons in response to a question posed by Conservative MP Ben Lobb, provide insight into some of the costs of the Feb. 16-25 trip.
While travel and accommodations account for much of the tab, the government spent $835 on hockey sticks for a hockey event in New Delhi and another $7,656 on Canadian wines.
The Privy Council Office, which supports the prime minister and cabinet, spent $212,075 on the trip; many of the names and details of how the money was spent were not reported.
The tab also includes costs racked up by four other cabinet ministers. Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains spent $4,027, while Bardish Chagger, minister for small business and tourism at the time, spent $3,823. Science Minister Kirsty Duncan's bill was $2,307 and then Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi spent $1,966.
While the Conservatives have criticized Trudeau's trip to India in the past, Austen defended it.
"This was an extremely important trip in terms of the continued development of bilateral ties between the two countries but also trade ties. There was a significant amount of money that was signed in deals during the trip there."
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer plans to travel to India for nine days in October, saying he wants to repair the damage he argues Trudeau's trip did to the relationship between Canada and India.
"Don't worry, I don't dance and I'm not bringing a celebrity chef along with me," Scheer told Conservative supporters last month.

Trudeau you're finished next election!!

People kind. Veterans asking for too much. The budget will balance itself. Ummm ummmm ummmm ummm. Canada has no core identity. Obsession with Indian wedding clothes.

Bollywood dancing. Can’t get a trade deal done...with anyone. Can’t get a pipeline done...in any direction. Creepy sock fetish. More selfies than a class of teenage girls.

Replaces Canada’s old F-18s with Australia’s old F-18s. Waves to an empty tarmac when boarding the government plane. Thinks we should thank muslim refugees for moving to Canada. His love of all things Castro and all things Red China. Imposes tough regulations and taxes on oil from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland but not oil from Saudi Arabia.

Every new project has to undergo strict environmental assessments...except cement plants in Quebec. Thinks old stock Canadians should be replaced. Chases foreign companies (and their investment capital) out of the country like they have the plague. Chases our WW1 soldiers out of our national anthem... lest we forget. Brings in 10s of thousands of unemployable “refugees”. Tweets out a welcome to 10s of thousands more fake refugees from the US (even gets the RCMP to be their bellhops). All his fake refugees get better healthcare than Canadians do, while they put a strain on all our public services and contribute little. Pays each refugee family $50,000 per year for doing nothing. Pays $10.5 million to a convicted terrorist who murdered an unarmed army medic. Forgot Alberta was a province.

Called small business owners “tax cheats” while he sucks at the teat of a family trust fund. Taxes cow farts. Screws up our trade relations with our most important trade partner because he failed to stop Chinese steel from flowing through to the states and he won’t give up supply management which hurts Canadian consumers. $8 million for a skating rink. $4.5 billion for a 65 year old pipeline (and KM uses that money to build a pipeline in Texas). Billions added to the national debt. Kokanee groper. Illegal migrants are just “irregular border crossers”.

Gets India to invest $250 million in Canada but we have to invest $750 million in India first. Compared returning ISIS terrorists to Italian immigrants and says they will be an extraordinary powerful voice for Canada. Terrorists deserve to keep their Canadian citizenship. Thinks Canada is 100 years old instead of 150. Generally making life less affordable for the average Canadian. Gave Canadian taxpayer’s money to the Clinton Foundation. Gave Canadian taxpayer’s money to Hamas. Increasing the number of personal pronouns to 50.

The only PM convicted of ethics violations. Outrage over fake racist attacks, says nothing about real terrorist attacks. Takes a personal day for every pair of socks he owns.

Stupid and incompetent. Remember the facts when voting next election people. Anyway you look at it this man is an idiot!!

Jihadi Jack is a former Isis swine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our idiot Boy sees Jack as a PERFECT sort of Cdn- with a "strong voice in Canada"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If only we can get past our "white privileges" and let the swine in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its just too bad that even LIE-berals might have a hard time stomaching the true values of Jihadi Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIE-berals exposed their utterly UNFIT TO GOVERN STATUS when they paid out fifty million dollars to five Jihadist jerks for the difficulties they endured as a result of their political values after the 9/11 terror attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omar Khadr is the POSTER BOY for ALL that is wrong with LIE-beral values!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Kenza Belakziz bank robbery insider outside the Calgary Court Centre, Belakziz, 22, pleaded guilty a week ago to conspiracy to commit robbery in connection with a Nov. 26, 2014, heist at a Mission Bank of Montreal where she worked. POSTMEDIA

A Calgary bank teller will soon be riding the Marrakech Express.

Kenza Belakziz was sentenced to 18 months in jail for setting up a bank heist.

Her lawyer pleaded that a sentence that long would mean the bad banker would be deported to her native Morocco.

(Good riddance to foregin born thieves!)

But Justice David Gates said evidence presented by defence lawyer Greg Dunn to reduce her sentence wasn’t enough to get it below six months.

Belakziz pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery in connection with a Nov. 24, 2014, heist at the Mission Bank of Montreal, where she worked.

Cops say she provided confidential information about the branch to her then-boyfriend Saleem Nasery, Lucas Windsor and Matthew Valdes.

She included a list of employees who would be present, the layout of the bank and the various locations where money was stored.

(Isnt it ODD that LIE-berals WILL NOT deport the convicted radical Muslim members of the notorious Toronto 18 terror who got caught plotting to blow up Toronto Stock Exchange, machine gun our parliament and behead the Prime Minister- but they WILL deport a lousy bank robber?)

(And what of the wanna be Muslim woman terrorist who tired to kill some customers at Cdn Tire in 2017? In her first court appearance she told the judge she hated Canada and wanted to plead guilty immediately so she could be deported home more quickly! And the LIE-beral hug a thug judge told her not to be so hasty and that she should consider her actions first!!!! She also told the judge that if she was let out on bail then she would attack us and try to kill again!! Judge took that part seriously and she has been held without bail!!!! With NO LIE-beral plan to deport the nubar Muslim radical!!!!)

(Of course part of the problem here the nutbar Cdb Tire Muslim attacker is LIE-berals have NO CLUE where the woman came from or how she got into Canada and so have no place to deport her to and do not want to discuss this crap publicly so hiding her in jail is probably considered good LIE-beral planning?)

She (the bank robber) moved to the U.S. when she was a child then they journeyed to Canada. While the rest of her family became Canadian citizens, Belakziz couldn’t be bothered.

But her lawyer said a medical report indicated that she suffers from PTSD, depression and anxiety. So, she should get a six-month sentence, he argued.

(Oh Lord!!!!! Yet ANOTHER ALLEGED crazy Muslim criminal!!!!! Sammy Yatim was let into Canada by LIE-berals in spite of his insanity! The Cdn Tire Muslim woman is crazy as a loon! The Muslim family of the recent Toronto Danforth shooter has gotten a Muslim spin doctor on side to explain to us that their killer relative was really mentally ill and we should not to take his actions personally! And now we have this Muslim bank robber with ALLEGED mental health issues! Muslims clearly think like LIE-berals - that mental illness is a great excuse for all manner of criminal idiocy!!!!!!)

(One has to suggest that LIE-berals are crazy if they think importing mentally ill immigrants coming to Canada is a good idea! And LIE-berals are certified NUTS if they really believe all these Muslim mental health excuses for Jihadist jerk attacks!!!! LIE-berals insist that the Danforth Muslim shooter was not a jihadist but Isis says he is “one of their soldiers”! So who is really crazy here- Muslim jihadists or the LIE-berals who want to buy their votes- at any price so LIE-berals can cling to power in the face of growing Cdn public anger?)

“Mr. Dunn, I have to follow the law,” the judge said. “I can’t use collateral consequences to reduce what is otherwise an appropriate sentence.”

The judge earlier rejected a joint sentencing submission from the Crown and defence asking for a sentence of six months less a day.

“A sentence of over six months is essentially going to banish a girl who has all her ties to Canada, or North America, who hasn’t been to the state of Morocco since she was two,” Dunn pleaded.

(I say GOOD RIDDANCE to her! WE must put up with criminals who are born here but we CAN AND SHOULD DUMP foreign criminals as an object lesson to others!!!!)

Belakziz reportedly tried to back out of the scheme — and even thwart the plot — and that’s why the Crown was willing to cut her some slack.

(Oh? And WHO SAYS she tried to back out of the scheme? Her lawyer?)

“She didn’t call the police, she didn’t even stay home, she was still there. It would be a much stronger argument … if she had actually taken some positive steps to stop this happening,” the judge said last October.

(Yeah- so the judge gets it in this case! These are just the usual Muslim apologies that are trotted out ONLY AFTER MUSLIMS GET CAUGHT!!!! It is no coincidence that the Quran explicitly allows Muslims to LIE to infidels in defence of Islam! A God knows we would not want Cdns to decide nutbar Muslim immigrants are a plague on our land- its just too bad that selfish LIE-berals want us to buy those stupid criminal Muslim excuses for their own selfish reasons!!!!)

You are the one welded to that sad lie about officer Yannez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently you are the one trying to bolster your fragile little ego with that sad lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have yet to explain how cop who has just arrived on scene and is busy PARKING HIS CAR - can offer any realistic support to another cop facing an armed drug addict in a second car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the gunman being completely out of view of the cop parking his car as guns were drawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW SAD A CREATURE YOU MUST BE TO CLING SO TENACIOUSLY TO YOUR LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ontari-owe makes up FORTY PERCENT OF CANADA`s population and it is now in control of Ford nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And LIE-beral loving news media whores are already trotting out the same excuses they offered up in explain away the improved economy with Mike Harris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And it does not hurt that we are near to CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And LIE-berals are trotting out the same sort of good job news they did last year at this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every autumn there is a flurry of hiring due to stores gearing up for Christmas rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And every year- LIE-berals like HOID get all excited about the "new jobs being created" and then in the new year they start talking about "seasonally adjusted" employment rates to HIDE how many of the "new jobs|" just disappeared again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIE-berals want us to focus on those seasonal jobs while ignoring the "made in Ottawa" Alberta oil problem, while ignoring the death

of General Motors in Ontari-owe, while ignoring the new Quebec govt doing its best to limit illegals settling there, and LIE-berals want

to ignore the just announced shuttering of a call centre in New Brunswick that employed over 700 people- and that meas most of a

small town is now UNEMPLOYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When the LIE-berals corporate welfare deals run out- so do the JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But LIE-berals prefer to focus on "our booming economy" that is booming us into RECORD DEBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIE-berals CAN find good news in a SHRINKING ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just as HOID can point to record employment levels in United States and call it BAD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do LIE-berals HAVE ANY LONG TERM PLANS AT ALL?????????????????????

It would seem the answer is NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he's an idiot! See: Bill C69, Carbon Tax - both of which should be scrapped!! We are an exporting country and simply those two things will have dire consequences to our economy. Obviously, it doesn't seem to affect them personally, so it's basically the hell with the rest of Canadians. It's disgusting. He's disgusting!
